        Wait, is any image now a meme? This isn’t a comic strip, in Comic Strips?

          Always has been. A meme is a self replicating unit of information. The meme exclusionists are just engaged in historical revisionism.

          By most definitions, comic strips inherently qualify as memes so yeah, this is both.

              Not really, no.

              A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme

              The comic strip format could be characterized as a memetic style of communication that has spread by imitation from person to person.

              Such is not true of ferns, for example.

                Actually, ferns are a social construct.

                The idea of ferns, as a decorative plant, is most definitely a meme.

                However you are right that ferns, as a lifeform, fall under the category of genes.

          A lot of comic strips do end up as memes

          I’d say that it only “becomes a meme” once it’s being shared around with small modifications, but when you see a comic for the first time then you might not know if that has happened already or not?

          Edit, it’s now a meme

          Originally, no, this wouldn’t have qualified as a meme, but now it pretty much just means “any image that’s shared online for the purpose of entertainment”.

          The definition is very vague now. And it definitely applies to any humorous images being spread using social media. And comics fall into that category.
